Check out this morning’s pic of our new elevator shaft taking shape!

Besides the addition of a new elevator, the foundation shown here represents a 50% increase in our total square footage. When finished, these three floors will be home to a brand-new entrance/reception area, an expanded art studio, two programming rooms, and a dedicated tranquility space/chapel. Our original elevator will handle food and incoming donations in the back.

Stay tuned for more updates!

“You look so good looking!”

Art asks us to do something powerful: pause, pay attention, and truly see.

The core theme of our "Building Compassion" installation is all about the act of looking and noticing—not just observing artwork, but deeply recognizing the humanity and beauty in the people around us.

Looking back at these photos from opening night, our favorite moments are all of you—looking, reflecting, and connecting inside the gallery.

If you missed opening night, there is still plenty of time to experience the installation for yourself at the South Bend Museum of Art through November 11th

Our Zumba class today was an absolute blast, led by the incredible Carlos, who proves every time that "LIFE IS BETTER WHEN YOU DANCE!" Carlos kept everyone moving, laughing, and grooving the entire time!

These amazing women from WINS (Women in Norfolk Southern) 🚂 rolled up their sleeves and brought so much energy to our space today along with cartloads of donations!

Standing out in the Labyrinth Garden with downtown South Bend in the background, we are feeling immensely grateful for community partners who take the time to give back and lift others up. Thank you, WINS team, for your helping hands and big hearts!

Reflecting on a ✨dazzling afternoon ✨

This month’s art class brought all the sparkle as our guests crafted custom mirror frames by painting and bedazzling them. We’re obsessed with the details—especially the sweet reminders like "Hello beautiful!" 😍

Yesterday we celebrated our incredible Director of Guest Services, Tanika, and to say she is loved is an absolute understatement! Our guests, volunteers, and staff pulled out all the stops to throw her the sweetest baby shower.

From fun shower games to a delicious lunch featuring the Tuesday cooks’ famous beef stroganoff (a Tanika favorite!) and ice cream cake, it was a day filled with so much joy, laughter, and belly rubs.

We are counting down the days until we get to meet Tanika’s baby girl! Swipe through to see some of our favorite moments from the day. 💖👶🎉
